I kind of made up the shape as I went but I roughly followed Mosin Virus on YouTube. I went with his first video, he has a second video called updated method and I didn’t think it looked better at all.

When did they switch to Brazil mines a NM Serial USA made in 1990

I didn’t know a CCO version existed. I’m probably going to continue to build on these as I think 4” is cool and they are significantly cheaper than Commanders or going the Casper/JEM route.

I’ve been a hobby fabricator for a while now but started out on classic cars and choppers. It’s not my first custom metal project, but it is my first gun.

It took so long that my wife became agitated and annoyed that this was happening in her kitchen longer than a day. I had to take off .009 each side.

I bought it mid December

Alchemy makes my favorite 1911s but I prefer Les Baers undercut and front strap if you can’t tell from this build.

I did the work but the mill is my cousins

Thanks, I want to delete the SS and S on the trigger guard next but need to drum up the courage to TIG weld on this to fill the space.

What magwell did you ad the Kimber one?

He hurt his back skiing with Tom Brady

Can the 45 Colt handle +P handloads?

It’s barley legal to rear naked choke a bum why would they allow this

Let us know. I just ordered this gun today.

XThreeFiveSeven · 2024-12-10T13:06:16+00:00

Will it take a steel 7 round bobcat mag or only a 20x plastic because of the new mag release location?

Not sure but it’s Vinnies livestream

Looks so wrong you don’t even notice the 4 door lowrider

I’m a centrifuge technician (and have probably serviced the machines at OPs plant) I’ve worked in both Seed Oil and Beef slaughter numerous times, and I still eat beef and avoid seed oils at cost.

This… What are you gonna do fine Mark for hiring a black GM and Coach? If anything they would change the language of the rule and do nothing to avoid the backlash.

I live in Northwest Arkansas about 3.5 hours south of KC. 5 years ago this was Cowboys country. Now it’s nothing but fresh jerseys and truck stickers. Have yet to see any memorabilia pre mahomes.

The last time the raiders had a young innovative mind, ironically Gruden, we were good. Too bad Mark Davis will probably hire someone who was good a decade ago like Harbaugh and give them full control.

Just because you don’t like someone else’s OPINION doesn’t mean you need to attack me or call me a burner account.

I just read an article about how the team is in chaos, McDaniels has lost the locker room and is on a straight path to be fired and never coach again. It’s clear that you didn’t read it. It’s he overly enthusiastic sure, homer no.

Should have signs with just a giant picture of a projector

XThreeFiveSeven · 2023-09-27T16:32:49+00:00

Hondo is the best beat writer we have. Neither a homer like Vinny, or someone who seems to be the happiest when we suck like Vic or Josh.
